February 2 Candle Lighting

In Paul Turner's Blog by Paul Turner

Q: If we plan to use the Solemn Entrance on February 2 (thus, we will be entirely inside), what are the pros and cons of using the flame from the Easter candle to light the assembly’s candles?

A: I don’t think there’s any pro to this idea. 

Easter and the Presentation are virtually unrelated. The paschal candle is to be used during Easter Time and for baptisms and funerals. None of those applies to the Presentation of the Lord. I think it would be confusing to light candles on Feb 2 from the paschal candle.
